hey y'all, my best friend, jason just purchased a reel, penn 704Z and he needs a rod that matches up the power of lami TS MHS 10' and he cant buy an expensive one, but he is willing to spend anything on thats less than $150. so does anyone here have a recommendation? thanks. ur inputs re appericated. hes going to use it for plugging and chunking like a versatile lami TS MHS 10'.

I've been very happy with the 10ft diawa sealine ($60 at the '06 MSBA show), as a matter of fact, its seat holds a 19yr old workhorse 704z.

10ft(2 pc) tsunamis are pretty nice. i had a 704 on one for some time.

for plugs I'd go with a 9
I have both, good rods for the $$$

How much are the Tri-Flex rods going for? They can't be all that much more than $150? :confused:

Quarrow makes some decent rods in the $150 price range, too. Mike CC has some at the shop if your friend can get down to Wareham.

I second the Quarrow recommendation.

I own a 10'er and a 704.Trust me they go well together.

I have my 704z on a 10' Ugly Stick. Yup, I'm old-school and cheap! Catches fish, trust me.

Why not an all star or batson 1208 and he can take a weekend and wrap it himself. Wouldn't have to be fancy.
